"President-elect Donald J. Trump today announced that he is
establishing the President's Strategic and Policy Forum," said
the press release from Blackstone.

"The Forum, which is composed of some of America's most highly
respected and successful business leaders, will be called upon to
meet with the president frequently to share their specific
experience and knowledge as the president implements his plan to
bring back jobs and Make America Great Again," Blackstone said in
the release.

The members of the forum include CEOs from Disney, JPMorgan,
General Motors, and BlackRock. Here's the full list, from the
press release:

Kevin Warsh, Shepard Family Distinguished
Visiting Fellow in economics at the Hoover Institute, former
member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System

Mark Weinberger, global chairman and CEO, EY

Jack Welch, former chairman and CEO, General
Electric

Daniel Yergin, Pulitzer Prize winner, vice
chairman of IHS Markit

The group will advise Trump on how to institute policies to
encourage job growth and improve productivity, according to the
release.

"This forum brings together CEOs and business leaders who know
what it takes to create jobs and drive economic growth," Trump
said in the release. "My administration is committed to drawing
on private sector expertise and cutting the government red tape
that is holding back our businesses from hiring, innovating, and
expanding right here in America."
